Dee's Healthy Breakfast Muffins image

In my quest to feed myself and my family with healthier food options...I started making these muffins. My son and grandson were always grabbing a granola bar and a banana on the way out the door.

  • 3. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm plain or with low fat cream cheese and cold. We love them both ways. Enjoy!
  • 4. NOTE: If you are not watching your gluten intake, you can substitute gluten free flour for white whole wheat flour or ?. I would still use the almond and coconut flour tho because of the health factor.
